But Mendes, who has the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Jose Mourinho and Radamel Falcao aming his list of clients, is not the only agent chasing the forward with Wayne Rooney’s agent Paul Stretford, Aidy Ward – the man who structured Raheem Sterling’s move to Manchester City, as well as the Stellar agency run by Jonathan Barnett and David Manasseh all sniffing around the Manchester-born prospect.

Rashford currently has 14 months left to run on his £1,500-a-week deal, although he is expected to sign a £15,000-a-week extension at the end of the season after breaking into the United first team this season.

After making his debut in February against FC Midtjylland and scoring twice, Rashford has flourished and has scored seven goals in 13 appearances, including strikes against Arsenal and Man City.
